Antibacterial Activity Of Local Medicinal Plants: Gongronema Latifollum And Ocimium Gratissimum On Selected Microbes (Staphylococcus Aureas And Escherichia Coil)
ABSTRACT
Ocimum gratissium and Gongronema iatfolium are common herbs
in Nigeria as medication against infections. The present study was designed to
assess their effect on pathogenic bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus and
Escherichia coli. The herbs were first processed and then extracted using
ethanol and acetone. The ethanolic and acetonic extracts were assessed for
their effect on S. aureus and E. coil. At 100% concentration, all the extracts
of Gongronema latfolium exhibited activity of (10-12 mm) zone of inhibition
against the test organisms except S. aureus which was not inhibited by the
ethanolic extract(5mm).There was no activity observed with all the extracts of
O.gratissium. The results of this investigation show that Gongronema iatifoiium
can be effective in treatment against infections of S. aureus and E. coil
